I'd like to see 11 too.........

Thee problem is we have some True Freshmen right now that are playing better than older guys.......and I just don't think Bo could ever hand out a Blackshirt preseason to a 17 or 18 year old kid.

Call me old school, but I always thought the black shirt should be earned on field after playing a few games. If you ask me, practice is good and all, but don't really mean shit. Just IMO

"Old school" Nebraska issued 11 in fall practice. They were placed in the lockers (as a surprise) as they were earned. There is no guarantee that blackshirt will be in your locker the next practice. It could be in another players locker of the same position.

Kevin Cosgrove was the first to trash the "old school" blackshirt tradition by passing them out in team meetings like candy. He diluted the meaning to the point of 25 players having blackshirts at the same time.

There should be no more than 11 or 12.

One of these years when we have 11 guys returning with a ton of playing time I guarantee you he will hand out all 11.....

Bo is actually growing up and understands that tradition is very important........and also, the tradition that Nebraska has is top of the line.

Cannot end the best tradition in the country.

Awesome... Love this move by Bo... first permanent captains... then this? Bo is learning, and he's confident. Pretty excited right now.
